Programme produced on the occasion of Playbill Act II: Moniek Toebosch at Torpedo Theatre, Amsterdam June 24, 2022.

Directly engaging with the theatrical setting of Torpedo Theater, the forty-five short texts composing theater-maker, artist, educator and broadcaster Moniek Toebosch’s 1994 work Kop op Kop [Head to Head] were performed as a one-person play by television and radio presenter Adeline van Lier. First exhibited as part of the Stedelijk Museum’s 1994 exhibition Couplet 3, the work—for which Toebosch wrote monologues and poems to accompany a selection of portraits held in the Stedelijk Museum’s collection—is one of many pieces produced by Toesbosch that interweave text with performance and/or its implications.

As part of Speelplaats, a parallel program of Werkplaats Typografie, participants challenged what was being offered in the school’s curriculum by introducing improvements or suggesting alternatives. Reader, aantekeningen exemplaar brings together these contributions made to the Speelplaats program alongside other like-minded initiatives by participants, guests and tutors in the shape of examples as well as reference texts.
